Author: Andis Robeznieks AMA The AMA deliberately uses the term augmented intelligence (AI)—rather than the more common term “artificial intelligence”—when referring to machine-learning computer algorithms that hold the potential to produce dramatic breakthroughs for health care research, population health risk-stratification and diagnostic support. HIT trends in health care And there’s a good reason for that. “In health […]
Read MoreAuthor: Michael Vlessides Anesthesiology News A survey has uncovered wide variability in how orthopedic surgeons interpret their patients’ postoperative opioid consumption after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The survey, performed at Stanford Health Care, also found that, on average, surgeons are quite accurate when estimating their patients’ true perioperative opioid use. “This research originated from a […]
Read MoreBy Amy Orciari Herman Edited by David G. Fairchild, MD, MPH, and Jaye Elizabeth Hefner, MD There’s very little evidence that any migraine-prevention medication is effective in children, according to a network meta-analysis in JAMA Pediatrics. Researchers examined data from 23 randomized trials that compared different migraine-prevention medications with each other or with placebo in roughly 2200 children […]
Read MoreAuthors: Ebbe L. Bessmann et al Anaesthesiologica Scandiravica March 2020 Background Airway management is a defining skill for anaesthesiologists. Anaesthesiologists must maintain and update these crucial skills throughout their career, but how this is best achieved remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify anaesthesiologists´ procedural volume, confidence in airway management, and their current and preferred […]
Read MoreAuthors: Chengwei Yang et al BMC Anesthesiology volume 20, Article number: 35 (2020) Background A CO2 pneumoperitoneum during a laparoscopic procedure causes violent hemodynamic changes. However, the remifentanil required to inhibit the cardiovascular response to a CO2 pneumoperitoneum combined with propofol remains unknown. Moreover, the sex of the patient may influence the response to opioids, which can affect this requirement. The main […]

However, the prone position may cause venous engorgement in the back and thus increase surgical bleeding with interruption of surgery. The prone […]

Read MoreThis was copied from an email sent by ASA today. We have some early data from last week’s survey of groups who have been dropped mid-contract by their insurance carriers in the last six months. We created the survey because we suspected carriers are doing this as a tactic to help get insurance-friendly surprise medical […]
Read MoreAuthor: Carin A. Hagberg, MD, FASA Anesthesiology News Editor’s note: A key of all abbreviations and acronyms appears below. Management of the difficult airway remains one of the most relevant and challenging clinical situations encountered by anesthesia practitioners, as major adverse consequences can occur if the airway is not secured in a timely fashion. This […]
Read MoreSpinal anesthesia may be safer than general anesthesia for people with Parkinson’s disease undergoing surgery, causing fewer post-operative complications, including a risk of death, a small study suggests. The study, “Spinal versus General Anesthesia for Patients with Parkinson’s Disease,” was published in the International Journal of General Medicine. Anesthesia temporarily blocks nerve sensation, making it indispensable for many surgeries […]
